The Secretary of the War is ahead of all other members of the cabinet with his annual report. This report has already been made public. It gives a general review of the various subor dinate reports, calls attention to their several recommendations and details at some length the operations of the de partment. It treats fully of the ex penditures of the past year and gives the usual estimates for appropriations for the coming year. Contrary to ex. pectation the secretary does not take sides against Gen. Scofield in the mat tw of the colored cadet, Whittaker, as radical politicians and sentimentalists have so confidently predicted he would. He treats the case with as few words as possible, merely saying that lie has "re- j frained from commenting upon the un- \ fortunate agitation which flowed from an alleged assault upon a colored cadet at the academy in April last for the reason that in some of its legal aspects the subject is still under considtratioD:" KELLOGG AGAIN IN DANGER. It has been for some time understood I that Gov. Wiltz, of Louisiana, would | make an appoiutment of a claimant for . Kellogg's seat in the Senate in place of Mr. Spofford who died some time ago. j The appointment has now bpen made, but no particular significance is attach- | ed to the fact in political circles here, j It certainly will he a temptation to the ! Senate democrats to seize Kellogg's j sent, in view of the undoubted close complexion of that body after March next. But no one believes that the temptation will be sufficient to induce ' the prominent Senators who have de clared Mr. Kellogg could not he law fully disturbed to "go back" on their j deliberately expressed opinions. UNN EC ESS AR V S '.'GO EST IONS. In South Carolina and in several of the other Southern States suggestions 1 have been made that the Presidential electors should vote for Garfield, and in j one or two instances it has been suggest- j ed that they should vote for Grant. The j idea which lies at the bottom of such i suggestions is that it will he accepted as a tender on the part of the Soutn of its ] desire that sectionalism and sectional . solidity shall he done away with. The idea may he good enough in the ah- ■ stract, but it is not likely to he carried into execution, and if it could he, it would fail in its purpose. The electors are nominated and chosen with the un derstanding that they are to vote for a particular person, and so strong and binding is the obligation considered that, as is well known, several electors in 1872 insisted on voting for Horace Greeley, although he was dead. SILVER COINAGE. It has been stated in several quarters that the Secretary of the Treasury will recommend the repeal of the require ment that $2,000,000 of silver shall fie coined monthly. Mr. Sherman may do this, or in lieu fie may recommend that the number of grains in the silver dol lar be increased so as to make it equal in intrinsic value to the gold dollar. If any attempt is made during the coming session to interfere wita the silver coin age, Director Burchard will object, being confident that we can go on coining svithout inconvenience at the same rate as at the present time until we have reached the same amount that France has, or $360,000,000. THE MINT BL'REAC. A report has gained circulation fo the effect that treasury officials would give countenance to a hill for abolishing the mint bureau and giving management of the coinage to the treasury, and sta tistical matters to the bureau of statis tics. At the office of the Secretary of the Treasury it is denied that they favor any such scheme. The present organ ization of the mint bureau works admi rably, and there is no desire for change, tin the other hand there is grave objec tion to placing coinage in tbe hands of the treasurer. The secretary would not consent to any plan that allowed the treasurer tocoin the money of which he is the keeper. In this way no check would be kept upon the treasurer, and the whole scheme is pronounced im practicable. TilE CENSUS RETURNS. At the census office work is now mainly directed to tbe preparation of a statement of the aggregate population of the country for insertion in Mr. HayeH' message. About 24,000 enumer ators' districts, or three-fourths of the entire number, are now completed, and the population, so far as is contained in them, can he given accurately. The means are at hand for an intelli gent estimate of that of the remaining districts which cannot ho lully detei mined; so that the limil estimate will not vary substantially from the oilioial returns when ascertained. INDIAN LEGISLATION THIS SESSION. Congress will probably do nothing ahout the measures recommended by the acting commissioner of Indian af fairs in his report, which was given to the representatives of the press last night. There have been one hundred and nine Indian hills introduced during the two sessions of the present Con gross. Outside of the appropriation hill and the I'te bill not more than two have passed. Ami in thirty or forty working days ot the approaching ses sion, days not spent in recess, Sundays, holidays and in routine work on appro priation hills, it is practically certain that no Indian legislation of conse quence will he accomplished. A RF.CF.NT DEATIF. Intelligence tins reached hereof the recent death in Kgyptof Madame Van Deti Nest, whose romantic career has given scandal mongers more food than that of any other lady who was ever conspicuous iu Washington society. Her maiden name was Kva Taylor, and she was a daughter of Col. Joseph 11. Taylor and a niece of l'resident /aiclia rv Taylor. Her lirst husband, Colonel j Kingsbury, who was killed at the battle | ot Antietatn, left his fortune to their child born alter his death. Her second ] husband was Gen. Galitin Lawrence, a son of Hon. Win. Leach Lawrence, of Newport. Mr-. Lawrence's elopement with Mr. Van Den Nest.ot the Belgium J Legation at Washington, is ot coinpa a tively recent date. General Lawrence' followed his wife to Ku-ope, where he j challenged and fought her paramour. •. No blood was shed as Van Den Nest i fired in the air. The diplomat was dis- I missed by his government on account ! of tins affair, hut after Gen. Lawrence had been divorced he married the lady, and subsequently to that was given a small diplomatic position in Kgypt, where he and his wi'e were living until liei death, after a shoit illness, a few weeks ago. Mrs. Van Den Nest was a blonde of much beauty ami a spoiled I butterfly of fashion. She leaves a see | ond child, which hud been legitimatized ! by her marriage with M. Van Den j Nest. KEI.IX. GENERAL NEWS. There are now thirty-two inmates j missing from the insane asylum which j was burned at St. Peter, Minn., and it j is believed this number have perished. Cadet Midshipman K lmund L. Kief i or, of the third class of the Naval Acad- i emy, a native ot Altoona, Pa., died at ; I Annapolis on Thursday last, ot pe iton- ; | His. A number of citizens of Oakland, ■ jCal., have now identified Mr. Morrell, j who recently died in Philadelphia, as a i former resident of that city tor a while, i hut he was n reticent, eccentric man, making hut few acquaintances, but of reputed wealth. Mrs. Levi Hulzapple put a cartridge . | of giant powder in a stove at her home, [ i near New Vernon, N. Y., in order to j warm it for her husband, who w is blast | ing in the vicinity. The cartridge ex- I phxled and the woman was dangerously | hurt. In the National Grange of the Pa trons of Husbandry at Washington, D. ! (J., on Saturday, the masters of State granges reported that in many instances i the study of elementary principles of agriculture had been made a feature in : Ihe public schools with evident bene- | | licial results. A rumor is current that Gen. W. W. 'Grout, member of Congress elect front j ilie 3d district of Vermont, is ineligible, he having been born in Canada and | never naturalized. Gen. Grout says Ins j parents were natives of Vermont, and ' about six weeks prior to his birth ntov | ed Into Canada, where he was horn and i where lie lived for about ten years. They then came back to the States. The St. Louis Hefinery and Smelting J Works, at Cheltenham, five miles from | the centre of the city, were burned on {last Friday. Loss. $125.(100; insured : $35,000. The fire was caused by bur.st -5 ing of the smelting furnaces containing twenty-five tons of molten lead. John Williams, the night engineer, while at ' tempting to save his clothing, was over | taken by the flames and burned to a crisp. 'The accident throws 150 men out of employment. The old apprenticeship system has been revived by a manufacturer at Springfield, Mass. The hoys hind them selves for six years and are to receive from five cents an hour at the beginning to twelve at the end. In addition, two cents an hour will be placed to their credit and paid on their discharge, thus providing for each about S4OO for a start on his own account. The employer stipulates for fifty-eight hours of work a week and nine of study. James L. Pugh, Alabama's new Sena tor. was born in Burke county, Ga., in 1820. He received an academical edu cation and was admitted to the bar in Alabama. He was elected to the XXXVIth Congress as a Democrat, serving from December ft, 1859, to Jan uary 21, 1861, when he retired from the House, his State having seceded from the Union. He was a member of the House in the Ist and 2d Confederate Congresses, serving from February 22, 1862, until the surrender. Despite the disturbed condition of Ireland, which gives Qneen Victoria so much trouble, the Empress of Austria, relying with reason on her personal popularity there, proposes once more, as she has already done for two years in succession, to take her establishment and stud to Ireland and enjoy a winter's hunting. As Queen Victoria has nrtl been over civil to the Kmpress, it may even graiify Her Imperial Majesty's feminine instincts to show herself more at home there than th| Queen. Dculli of Governor Janies D. William-, of Indiana. INHIANAI'OI.IS, Ind., November 21. Governor Williams who has been very ill for several days died yesterday. Governor James l>. Williams, of Indi ana, was the man known to the coun try as "Blue Jeans" Williams. His real character and ability were little un derstood outside tbe State where lie lived and obtained honors. He was really one of tbe most remarkable char acters of bis time. Born in Ohio sev enty two years ago, be went to Indiana when he was ten years old, and settled in Knox county, in the southwestern part of the State, where lie continued to have his home to the time of his death. He grew up in the wilds, got his education in tin* log school houses, where merely the simplest things were incompletely taught and eaily fell into the lile of a termor : this humble pur suit was always bis boast. Mr. Williams wns elected a member of the Indiana House ol Representatives in 1843, and has since been more or less in public life. He was four times re-elected to the House and was a member ol the State Senate for three terms; while serving bis last term in that body in 1873 be was made the Democratic can didate for United States Senator against < 'liver I'. Morton, but the Democrats were in a minority in the legislature and Morton was re-elected, lie was a delegate to the Democratic National convention of 1872, which met at Balti more and nominated Horace Greeley for President. In 1874 he was nomi nated for Congress in the Second dis trict, and was elected by a majority of nearly eight thousand, the largest ever given for a candidate in the district. The Democrats bad control of the House in which he served, and Speaker Kerr, who knew his Indiana neighbor as no one about Washington knew him, put Mr. Williams at the head of the committee on accounts. In the impor tant contest ol 1876, when the Demo crats fully understood the importance of carrying Indiana, Mr. Williams was nominated for Governor. The contest j was one of the hottest known in the history of the State and Williams was j elected in October By a majority nearly j as Urge as that given a month later for Tilden and Hendricks. He was serving the term tor which he was then elected ; when he died. It was during that cam- , paign that he became known abroad as j "Blue Jeans," a nick-name given him on account of the kind of clothes he j sometimes wore. Romantic Elopement. Mr.*. Eliza Eergmann. a very wealthy j and handsome lady of Philadelphia, j left her home in that city lost week and , went to New York to search for a young j Spaniard with whom she was in love 1 and with whom she wished to elope. Her tlight was intercepted by her - friends and she i* now a willing pns- I oner at police headquarters in New York. It also transpires that the young Spaniard wa* only enjoying n flirtation j with M s Rcrgm.mn and dues not recip- | rocate her sentiment* of love. He is : now said to be in Matamora*, Texas, : and to be we|| connected. Repealed j and persistent efforts have leen made ' to effect a reconciliation, and on Friday I evening these had so far succeeded that I Mrs. IWgmann declared she would j have nothing to do with the unknown '• Spaniard, for lore of whom she bad run j away from home. She added that she had telegraphed to a Spanish hotel in Philadelphia to search the Spaniard out before she left Philadelphia, but receiv ing no response, siio decided to seek him at tho Filth Avenue Hotel, and, that failing, to walk up and down Broadway until she found him. She seems satisfied to-night that she will never see her Spanish lover again, but she still refuses to return to Philadel phia, where her disgrace would be known. When informed by Cotnmis- , sioner French that her husband's aim j was to save her from disgrace Mrs. Berg- j niann became penitent and exclaimed : "What a fool I was to leave that than ! He is ever so much too good for me." Mrs. Rerttmann and her husband traveled in Europe last year, an>l on re turning to America the wile made tbe acquaintance of a dashing Spaniard, of good family. She fell deeply in love i with him, and from that moment her demeanor toward her hu*band j changed. Everything that was possible i was done to wean her from her infatna- [ \ tion, and the strait* imposed upon her to prevent scandal wrecked her reason and she is insane, but her appearance is that of a pretty young woman, in full j possession of her mental faculties. The | young couple were married two years ago, and Mrs. Bergmann ts now only ! seventeen year* of age. Mrs. Eliza Bergmann is a daughter of the late William Nwaim, whose grand ! father made a fortune in the patent j medicine business in Philadelphia. For ! years tbe Swairn family resided abroad, most of the time in Paris. A few years j ago the father died, leaving bis vast es | tate to his children and wife. 11 is esti ! mated that the estate waa worth over $3,000,000 at the death of Mr. Nwaim, i with a business still in operation which i paid a handsome profit, ♦ AMONG the curiosities of the census, which has developed no end of curious things, is a native of Arkansas who was never twenty miles from his birth place, and never anw a locomotive, yet m still a citizen of France, having been born in Arkansas three years before the cession of Hint territory to the United -States in 1803. Another curiosity is an Alabnma giant, only twelve years of age, who weighs 380 pounds and is six feet in height, while both his parents are of medium size. Fulton county, Oa., furnishes in tho person of Mrs. Eavinia Cobb, a lady who has seen her five score years nd ten, but if we mis take not, Missouri has a veteran who was born in 1766, or four years in ad vance of the venerable Eavinia. A census department would prove a valu able adjunct to tbe "only greatest show."

A Baltimore 1-aily'n Dream. A I'AIK OK RMI'TY COKKINS CONK I RMS lIK.lt IIOKKIIII.K I'KKSKNTI XRNT. BALTIMORE, Nov. BS.— Mrs. Elizabeth .1 oilier, a handsomely-attired , en tered the office of the Hallimore Ceme tery Company yesterday afternoon in a state of great excitement. She bad dreamed that the body of her niece, Miss Jennie Smith, who bad died not long ago, had been alolen from tbe grave. The lady, who belong* to a wealthy and resectable family, upon being ijueationed, aaid alie bad viaited the grave the day before and found within the inclosure a scapular worn by ('utholica, which t-he wua confident had been around if ins Smith's neck when she was buried. Afterward, on return ing borne, she had dreamed that she saw tbe empty coffin of her niece, and, in order to set her doubts at rest, she wanted permission to have the grave opened. After some demurrer, tbe re quest was granted and tbe grave was opened in presence of tbe lady and a number of friends. It was found to contain only an empty coffin. Mrs. Joiner, who was greatly horrified ut the discovery, then insisted on having the grave of the girl's mother Mrs. Anna Carter, opened. When this was done tbe discovery was made that her body was also missing. The disclosures caused great excitement among the friends of the family, who are well known, and they have determined to ferret the mat ter to the bottom. Mrs. Smith and her daughter both died very suddenly, the former September I*. and tbe latter two weeks ufter. The cemetery officials, while admitting that the bodies have been stolen from tbe graves, reluse to believe that it was the work of profes sional body-snatchers. They appear to think that the sudden deaths of the ladies are in some way connected with the disappearance of the bodies, and intimate that the present discovery may fie followed by startling disclosures. The police show a disposition to investi gate the cause of the deaths, and detec tives are at work on the case. ( aiiicron-ltruilley. MARRIAGE or MISS CI. I/A MYORXKK ( AX- j ERON AMI MH. W. 11. BRAIII.BV. IfAßßisnrßri, Nov. 17.—The marriage i of Wm. If. Bradley, eldest son of Jus- I tice Bradley, of the f'niled States Su | pri-me Court, to Mis Eliza McCormiek ' Cameron, eldest daughter of Senator J. Donald Cameron, was solemnized at the I'me street I'resbyterian church, at 1 12:30 o'clock to-day, ltev. I r. Cattell, of I.afayette College, performing the cere mony. Among the guests were Judge Bradley, General Sherman, George W. Child*, A. J. I'rexel, lion. Wayne Mac- Vengh, Hon. Simon Cameron, Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster and Senator Keefer. Tbe bridesmaids were Mis* ' Virginia Cameron, i*ter of the bride; 1 Miss Kittv Mr-Clean, of Baltimore ; I Miss Mabel lGvard, daughter of Sena* : tor Bayard; Mix Louie Sergeant, of Harrisburg; Mary, Barbel, and Msr garetta Cameron, sisters of the bride, j and Mary McCormiek, of Harrisburg. There was but one best man—C. 11. Bradley, brother of the groom. The S ushers were Kmmon Blaine, son of the | Senator; Woodbury Blair, son of Mont gomery Blair ; Fred. Frelinghuysen, son of the Senator; William B. Lam berton, anil t'ol. James I.ynah.of liar risburg. The bride was attiied in whitfe brocaded satin en train, with flowing veil and diamond ornaments, and car ried an exquisite bouquet. The brides maids wore crearuslriped satin, and all carried bouquet*. The groom and ushers wore mourning costumes after the Knglish style. A reception was held at "senator Comeron's residence this afternoon, at which were present a large number of invited guest*. The wedding trip will tie to New York. It is understood that Mr. anil Mrs. Brad ley will take up their residence at New ark, N. J. The presents were magnifi cent nnd costly, but were not exhibited. "Society" Entertaining n Trapeze Girl. Chicago "Society " is greatly exercis ed over tbe fact that it has been enter taining a trapeze performer unaware*. Some months ago, " Krneat Grunbaum and wife, of Vienna," arrived in Chica go, with letters of introduction which insured them a cordial reception into the best families. The pair lived sump tuously. gave brilliant entertainment* and conducted themselves with strict propriety. Lately the lovely bride was recognized as " l.eona Hare," tbe form er queen of tbe trapeze. While per ! forming in Viena, at the Imperial Court ' Theater, she had a terrible fall and was ! fearfully injured. Young Grunhautn, who is a scion of an aristocratic house, | bad fallen in love with her, and after 1 the accident he was devoted in his at j tention to Iter and nursed her back to health. Then he very naturally mar ried her. His parents furiously oppos ed tbe union, and so tbe pair then came to America. The exposure of Leona'* identity in Chicago was occasioned, it is said, by Tommy Wall, a circus man, who said he was still her only legal hus band. She said that she had supposed herself freed by his desertion. But this obstacle was speedily removed by obtaining a divorce from him and being united to Grunbaum by a second mar riage ceremony. Then came a cable gram from the elder Grunbaum, saying: "Come back with your wife and all will be forgiven." She and her husband will start for Vienna this week. In the Catholic cemetery at Browns ville lie tbe remains of tbe father and mother of Senator Blaine. Last week a monument, ordered by Mrs. Walker, a sister of the Senator, waa placed over the remains. It is made of Richmond granite, four feet square at the base and stands fifteen feet high, both base and shaft. It contains but a single inscrip tion, which will be on thennposite side of the graves, as follows: "Epbraim Ly on Blaine, Forn February 18, 17%, died June 28, 1860.

Sir Alexander Cockhurii. ILKATII or THE I.OHU CII IKK J ('STICK OK TIIE (JLZRN'S BENCH. IAIN IION, November 21. —Sir Alexander Cockkurn, Lord Chief Justice of tbe Queen's Bench, died suddenly at twelve o'clock last night, lie had heard a case at Westminister during the day. He walked home, ate a dinner, and, appar ently well, retired at 11.30, when he waa seized with a pain over the heart and died almost instantly. He devel oped symptoms of fatty degeneration of the heart about eighteen months ago. hut apparently recovered. He had an attack of angina pectoris at a spa dur ing the past summer, and a fortnight ago, on his return home, had a similar attack, but the symptoms passed away.

He was fortunate enough to ob lain a large share of the Parliamentary practice incident to the railway mama that led to the projection of countless conflicting lines: and in 1847 he was himself elected to Parliament—being returned in the advanced Liberal inter est for .Southampton.

It says : "We can tell these flinders, bourbons and brokers jmsitively ibat General Mahone is a Democrat. More, be is a Virgininn >ntut din etf. Further, be is a southerner. But, above all. be is an American and a patriot. He is not a broker's man. He is not a (under. He is not a Bourbon. Nor is he a mere counter to be used in games played by other men. No, he will be no puppet anywhere to be moved hither and thith er by the w.reworkers. A born leader of men, be will not be the servile fol lower of anybody nor tbe slave of any ring or caucus. He will have few if any equals in the Senate as an independent thinker and a practical statesman, and he will shape a policy for Virginia in national atFair*—aye, for tbe aouth if not for the whole country—that other men will do well to adopt and promote. A Democrat in principle and practice, with a noble career already achieved to j attest it, General Mahone will not sac rifice present realities to obsolete fac tions, nor subordinate things to names. An earnest resolute man, with the cour age of his convictions, he dares to be right, no matter what Hre the conse quences to himself individually." The Riot Bill Bribery Cases—A Ver dict of Accqiilttal'Rendered. HARRISBI-RU, November 20.—The cases of William Kemble, Charles Salter and Jesse R. Crawford, charged with perjury during the riot bill investigation, were called in Court this morning and a jury drawn. District Attorney Hollingerex plained to the Court that he had not sufficient evidence to convict. It re quired two or more witnesses in each case and he could summon but one. He could not possibly ho|e for convic tion. The court agreed and instructed the jury that in these cases it could give a verdict without (paving the box. The jury accordingly rendered a verdict of not guilty and were discharged. Lieutenant Governor Isaac P. Gray, who succeeds the late Gov.
